REcent Call for Papers: What Do (Digital) Images Want?

Our 10-year anniversary comes at a crucial moment: digital images are not only omnipresent in daily life, but are generated by active agents that shape our ways of seeing and knowing the world. We invite submissions that critically explore the desires, demands, and politics of digital images in contemporary visual culture, while questioning the very foundations of what constitutes digital art history in an age of algorithmic methods of image making and visualization.

Taking W.J.T. Mitchell's What do Pictures Want? and David Freedberg’s The Power of Images into the digital realm, this call seeks articles that interrogate the complex agency of digital images today and the power dynamics at play in their creation. We aim to investigate not only how images and data (and images as data) shape cultural narratives and power systems, but what these digital entities seem to demand from us as scholars, archivists, cultural producers, and spectators. At the same time, we seek to understand how a visual studies approach to digital images might generate alternative (digital) art histories and new ways of seeing beyond the constraints of conventional methodologies.
